ABUJA, Aug 2 (Reuters) - One of Nigeria’s main oil and gas trade unions on Friday said it had suspended planned industrial action related to a staffing dispute with U.S. oil major Chevron .

In a statement, the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) said the suspension of the plans, which were announced on Thursday in connection with a reduction of the company’s workforce, followed talks brokered by the state oil company.
